Adarsh Sant Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Vancouver, B.C. - Vancouver Canucks General Manager Jim Benning announced today that the club has signed forward Lukas Jasek to a three-year, entry-level contract. Jasek, 20, has appeared in six games in his debut season with the Comets, recording seven points (3-4-7). He made his AHL debut on March 31st at Springfield notching three points (1-2-3). Prior to joining the Comets, the 6-1, 184-pound forward appeared in 48 games for Liberec Bill Tygri HC of the Czech Elite League, registering 18 points (8-10-18). He also recorded seven points (2-5-7) in 12 games of the Championship Hockey League helping his team advance to the semi-finals.

Gally Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Jasek is one of our most interesting prospects. I liked the pick out of the draft but seems like he never really got a chance on his Czech team. Hopefully he can build on his hot start in Utica.

YEGCanuck Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 In the long term the Canuck's success is all about the systematic development of drafted players through the various leagues in North America and Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanuck Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Good signing. Has shown well in his limited AHL games so far. Still somewhat of a longshot to be an NHL regular imo, but nevertheless he should strengthen Utica next season and a strong farm team overall is better for the franchise. Will look forward to see what he does in the AHL playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaudette Celly Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Quite the ascension since coming over just a few weeks ago. ATO --> PTO --> ELC Team is obviously impressed. Hopefully he continues with a good playoffs and a good battle for a spot this Fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His point production in Utica has been a surprise considering he wasn't a huge point producer in the Czech league. Maybe he's just made for smaller ice?

wshdrvvn Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 happy to see this is official. It's great to see the late round picks earning a shot. And to become someone the comets may lean on a bit for offense in such a short period of time is outstanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pluralsight Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Nice signing. The 2015 draft is looking pretty solid for the Canucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve french Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 I thought he had one more year on his deal in the Czech league. Can someone more informed than me tell me how this works out? Was there an out clause, did he have to buy out his contract, will he be going back over there for one more year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the plan was for him to go back to the Czech league for 1 more year. I remember hearing that he wanted to come to North America earlier but the club would not let him but maybe an out clause is in the works. Hopefully he finally gets his wish and is able to continue to play in Utica. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
